Mann

Seattle's Central Area district, about 1.67 miles from downtown, in King County.

Researched and written by Ryan Rose · Updated October 29, 2026

Sidewalk coverage in Mann, which I estimate at 96%, is higher than in all 82 other Seattle neighborhoods I compared. My records also show 91 transit stops within a quarter mile and an average block length of 345 ft, shorter than in 75% of the city. The trade-off is small lots, averaging 3,485 sq ft. Garfield Playfield and Homer Harris Park are both inside the boundaries.
